In the hand, the Xoom is about the same weight as the iPad, although it's narrower bezel makes it look sleeker. The fit and finish, though, was a bit embarrassing. Maybe our Xoom was a pre-production unit that somehow slipped through quality control, but it had a raised seam across the back that felt as if the plastic were about to pop open at any moment and spill its circuitry all over the floor. Plus, I knew that 4G would have to wait until an upgrade was available, but I was totally shocked to discover that the microSD slot isn't currently functional as well.
